_{Jesus had gate-duty at Heaven's Pearly Gate. An old man with a long white beard tried to go in. Jesus stopped him and said: You must have done something good and special to enter here. What have you done good and special? The old man pondered for a moment and then said: I had a son. Jesus said: What's so good and special about that? The old man said: Well, they wrote a lot of books about him. This made Jesus reflect and get excited. The old man continued: He had nails put through his hands. Jesus couldn't contain Himself and opened His arms to hug the old man and cried: Father! The old man said: Whoa! Back off! Do I know you?}

_Innocence

_{One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, Good morning Alex.
Good morning Pastor, he replied, still focused on the plaque. Pastor, what is this? The pastor said, Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service. Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?}
